An 83 year old Army Veteran arrived in Paris by plane. As he was fumbling in his bag for his passport, a stern French customs agent asked if he had been to France before. He admitted that he had indeed been here previously. The lady sarcastically said, “Then you should know to have your passport out and ready, Sir.”

The gentleman said “I didn’t have to show it last time.”

“Impossible!” the customs agent exclaimed. “All foreigners have always had to show a passport to enter the country.”

The man responded in a low tone, “Well, when I came ashore on the beach on D-Day in 1944, I couldn’t find any damn Frenchmen to show it to!”
